Philip Micah
@philipmicah
AI generalist and data labeling expert, transforming language and data into real value.
What I'm looking for
I infuse zeal with skills—bringing empathy with emphasis—and I’m determined to affect every endeavour positively through focused action and measurable value. My background blends AI/data work with language expertise, so I can handle both technical and communication-driven tasks.
As an AI Generalist (Mercor, 2024–2025) and a Data Labeling Expert (Jos Tech plc, 2025), I work with image annotation and quality control to help turn raw data into reliable training inputs. I also apply strong problem-solving and decision-making to keep outputs consistent and useful.
Through remote Upwork experience and contract work, I’ve worked as a French/English Translator, Editor, Proofreader, Researcher, and Data Entry Analyst—translating files and documents, editing books and documents, and entering research data using tools like MS Excel. I bring a careful, accuracy-first approach to every assignment.
I’ve also supported education and impact projects as a French Tutor and on monitoring and evaluation roles. Whether coordinating aid distribution or serving on project committees, I’m motivated to contribute solutions, structure progress, and help teams move to the next level.
